How are you neo's from last breeding season doing?
Now that my neonates (juvi's now?) have been warmed up for a couple of weeks and had a couple of meals I weighed and measured them. Born 7/24/02 all 10 are now 45-52 grams and 19.5-21.75 inches. They began the system clean out 12/1 and began the temperature drop 12/10 with temps at a steady 59-60 by 12/15. Began warming 1/28/03 with first pink offered 2/05 and all 10 accepting a hopper 2/15/03. Pinks were fed on a 4 day schedule, 9 of the 10 began eating fuzzies on the 4-6th feeding and continued that size meal per 7 days until brumation prep. The stubborn feeding 10th animal continued pinks until the 11th feeding and by early last november was within 4 grams of the group average of 35 grams.
I just figured this thread could show the variation of sizes we find with both similar and different feeding schedules.
